Well this is another project I will keep tabs on and keep my mind off my non working lathe. (Blown diode in the controller, waiting for replacement parts and hopefully it will be a simple repair.  :zap: ) Great work so far.

Next up were the 4 spacers for the crosshead.  Turned the outsides, drilled and cut off 4x.



Then set up a backstop.



And clean them up to the same length.



Then it was time for a cleanup as next I will be turning brass.



Turned the two main bearings.





More to follow.

Cheers

Hi all,

The packing nuts were machined from hex stock.



The cutoff ends were faced and the holes reamed to final size.



Finished.



A piece of flat bar was centered to a punch mark.



A hole was drilled.



And bored.



The piece was then reset.



And faced, then flipped over and faced on the other side.



Ready for some milling work to turn it into the eccentric strap.



Until next time.

Cheers
Abraham
